Samsung's One UI 8 update is available on the company's latest foldables, will arrive on other Galaxy S series phones in the future. The company recently unveiled a new AI-powered feature aimed at tackling the rise of AI-driven voice phishing scams, called ‘Voice Phishing Suspected Call Alert'. It is currently rolling out in South Korea, and is limited to Galaxy devices running on One UI 8. This means that users with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldable smartphones can try out the feature. The company is expected to expand the feature to more markets in the coming months.

How Samsung's ‘Voice Phishing Suspected Call Alert' Feature Works

In a post on its community forum, Samsung announced that a new ‘Voice Phishing Suspected Call Alert' feature will be part of the stable One UI 8 update in Korea. According to a company representative, Samsung users will see a “detecting” message when dialling an unsaved number. It is currently available in Korean, and works for outgoing calls.

"When calling an unknown number, we detect and notify you in real time using AI whether there is a suspicion of voice phishing", the post read. If a potential threat is identified, users will receive an instant alert through sound and vibration.

The feature is currently exclusive to Samsung Galaxy devices running the stable version of One UI 8, meaning it's only available on Samsung's newest foldable phones for now.
